    Hi. Just read the section on dependent origination, and found his description of the twelve links very fresh and clear. It conveys a living process nicely. I can never hear the abc's enough. Thank you for making available this book , Jundo.

      Got "Heart to Heart Chat with Old Master Gudo" on Kindle. Yay!
      And received "To Meet the Real Dragon" from Barnes & Noble ... only 2 left there. None at Amazon that I could find ...

          My book arrived today from Amazon! I checked the tracking; it went from NJ to Indonesia in 4 days, then, for some reason Amazon cannot explain to me, was re-routed to Singapore which was when they 'lost' it. I think it was just taking a little holiday...! 3 weeks later (!) it is finally here; I can't wait to get into it!

          Gassho,

            I've bought the Kindle version and am reading it.
            I would like to have the printed version, but I guess it will never arrive.

            Anyhow, it's very nice to read Roshi's own words.

            I'm enjoying it.

              We are lucky enough here in Indonesia to have the Lunar New Year as a public holiday, so I have just had a four-day long weekend, in which I was able to read the book from cover to cover. Thank you so much, Jundo, for bringing Nishijima Roshi's teachings to us through this wonderful book (as well as through your own teaching). In explaining some of the foundational teachings of Buddhism, it highlights Gudo's particular 'take' on the featured topics. The narrative/conversational style of the book keeps it 'alive'; it never falls into the trap of being a dry, 'Buddhism 101' primer. My copy is bound to become dog-eared from regular reading!

                Gee, well then, kindly post a review if you can!



                And, by the way, no need for reviews to be positive. All sincere reviews welcome, positive or critical or both!

                Gassho, Jundo
